EVERYONE is already confirming Ps3 to be the most powerful, most likely due to it not being released until 2006-2007, pretty much the obvious there.
2006-2007 is 1-2 years from now and Xbox360 is now this year in fall.. Meaning that PS has about 4-7 months left to finsish before mass production... Xbox is already done and probably has begun the mass production process and I'd really like to know what your information source is because as far as i know PS3 has nothing compared to Xbox360 and the Revolution doesn't have any information on it so yea... There's a saying that goes "To the fool that assumes"... Don't assume that the Revolution is goin to be that great...
I think the "big" factor that most people are neglecting is user base. Only the fanboys car about what console is more powerful, a lot hinges on the track record and success of the last console. The Dreamcast was more powerful, and in my opinion better, than the PS2 but Sega's appauling track record with console support (Genesis being the exception) spelt doom for the poor DC. Nintendo are starting to slip into the same catagory. A lot of people don't care if the Revolution can cook your breakfast and wash your clothes while you play games in the next room cos the GC is fairly lacklustre in comparison to the other consoles on the market. Backward compatibility is overrated when there isn't that many good games to play in the first place and in most cases the newer stuff is better anyway.
Before the PS3 even hits the shelves it will have a huge head start due to the PS2 user base and proven track record of quality. The Xbox is a solid first effort that has a lot going for it, so the Xbox 360 should be quick out the blocks too. Nintendo are slowly sliding down the scale of quality (NES was excellent, SNES even better, N64 was alright and GC is a bit ho hum) so they really need to pull the rabbit out of the hat with the Revolution or else they will be swept aside like Sega.
... and before people start carrying on about the GC having a decent following, please note I live in Australia and most game stores either don't sell GC games anymore or only have one shelf dedicated to them. Most of the reports I've read from OS would indicate similar trends but perhaps not as extreme.

Okay once I saw your last comment, I saw no reason at all to reply to you at all. Your a fanboy period, I'm giving each console the shot to impress me, right now Ps3 has, since it will have MGS4, DMC4, and Resident Evil 5. I'm going to decide with what Revolution & XBox 360 get as signed games, like Grand Theft Auto before I buy my 2nd console. Your out of your mind to assume SONY (not PS, that is the CONSOLE not the COMPANY name) that Sony has already set a release date for Playstation 3. Just because it says 2006 now, that could mean WINTER 2006.
Nintendo is releasing some stuff now.
The look of out it is much better than the GC, and its bloody small. The thing that will probably not get many people to buy it is that its about 2-3 times as powerful as the GC. People like power, and unless they do some crazy shit with the console, people wont like it.
Titles with the console are still the big three, Metriod, Zelda and Mario. If they are the launch titles, it could do wonders for it.
